What's new?
I survived a ten day stretch of single parenthood again. Both kids had mild cases of flu and were awfully cranky but not overly sick fortunately. Taran was especially sleepy and not eating much the following week which puzzled me. Two days ago he complained that he couldn't wiggle his toes in his shoes or his pajamas (with feet). Sure enough his feet had grown. I measured his height and he had grown over half an inch and one full shoe size in less than two weeks. Yes growth spurts apparently can really be spurts.
Tovi is hilarious. She is going to be a major handful as she gets older. She is a cheerful bubbly babbling delight 95% of the time. The other 5%... sad or mad drama big time! With Taran we pretty much sat back and watched him behavior wise until he was two. Really he was so mellow and it was never a problem to give him what he wanted as long as it wasn't dangerous or destructive. Tovi we are working on restraint already because she wants to do and get into everything and frequently we can't let her. Rather than have her throw fits we are talking with her and "explaining" things to her and believe it or not it's working.
I'm frustrated with budget hold-ups at work so I'm pursuing my second career of investing. Mostly I'm just watching things and playing around with numbers of how much $ I feel comfortable starting with and realistically what yield I think I might expect. It would be stupid if I can't do better than CDs or Money Market and not much better if I can't beat a standard index fund. Connor is very bored when I talk about it. So...
In other news somebody has been using my AMEX card for Comcast on demand. I reported it and ordered a new card (new number). I didn't receive it so I called and it had been sent to my "alternate address". MY WHAT!? I have never given an alternate address so WHAT THE F**K! Fortunately the new card had not been activated. AMEX would not tell me what the other address was so I don't know what the connection is. Apparently it's in the same city I'm in but that's the only information I have. I'm annoyed but I'll check back in a week or so and see what information they will give me. Meanwhile I received a new card rush delivery to my correct address.
Lastly, I have started swimming laps again and love it. I will never win any races but I appreciate the workout I get from swimming and it's way kinder on my knees than other workouts. Okay I'm boring myself terribly with this entry. Sorry. I'll think of something more interesting in my next post.
